Winter’s back with a bang and fresh snow over the Tirolean glaciers offered some great skiing over the weekend. With half of the ski lifts on the Stubai Glacier operating, there was a great range of terrain to enjoy.
The light was generally relatively flat on Sunday, as a new snow system was approaching, but the piste conditions were fantastic, with groomed fresh snow and some empty trails. Highlights were the descents from the Wildspitz, at 3210m and the traverse from the Eisgrat to the Fernau pistes. Many skiers and boarders were concentrating on the Rotadl chair and the routes down to mid-station, so for those heading a bit off the main routes, the skiing was fantastic.
Snow arrived late on Sunday and this week is forecast to be cold and sunny. More lifts will be coming online in the coming days.
